Thanks for writing!  The difference here between your zone and
my zone is the soil.  We have to work with the glacier rock
that has formed which means I basically have rocks, rocks and
more rocks. 

Then the other difference is 40 to 50 degree nights here.
Do you have these low temp's in Minnesota at night?

Now this has my interest!  What do they consider cool?
I have never had a successful pepper but would love to!
